France warns of Syrian chemical weapons attack
None
France's foreign minister says Western powers are preparing a tough response in case Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime deploys chemical or biological weapons in its civil war. Laurent Fabius says "our response ... would be massive and blistering."
Fabius, speaking on RMC radio Monday, said "we are discussing this notably with our American and English partners." President Barack Obama has called it a "red line" for the US if Assad's regime were to use chemical or biological weapons. (AP)
